It’s our very first episode! Apple didn’t just update Siri — they threw it out and started over. Plus a Microsoft security scandal, a $12 billion AI bet from Jeff Bezos, and a heated debate: was Apple’s Liquid Glass redesign a bold vision or a broken design forced on a billion users for a year?

Welcome to The Tech Hangout! 👋

This is our introduction video — a quick look at who we are, where we came from, and what we’re building here.

The Tech Hangout is a live show where a group of friends gets together every week to break down the biggest stories in tech. From Apple and Android to chips, AI, big tech and beyond — we cover the full spectrum without the clickbait, the hype, or the corporate spin.

We used to do this on the British Tech Network. Then the network closed, and the weekly hangouts stopped. We missed it — so we brought it back, on our own terms.

No scripts. No suits. No hype. Just friends talking tech.
